The Book Fair is Coming!
Brookfield’s yearly Book Fair is coming!

The children will be learning about it in class at the beginning of October, and we’ll be sending home more information in the Tuesday folder very soon.

Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT) Strategy for the Month of September
Mindmapping in Ms. Alwood's class
Brookfield’s CCT strategy for this month is Mindmapping. Mindmapping helps make visual representations around a central idea as well as provides a canvas for organizing ideas and showing connections. It is a method of visual notetaking that helps students organize information in a unique and personal way.
Bronco Block
PreK students paint with purple and read scary books!
On Monday, September 19th, FCPS Superintendent, Dr. Michelle Reid, and Sully District School Board Representative, Stella Pekarsky, visited Brookfield. The highlight of their visit was releasing butterflies with our second grade scientists and learning about the life cycle of these insects.
